I loved Vic, Durango is her home and she has great friends and co workers and excels as a fire fighter, while Bill is a recent transplant to Durango and enjoying the slower pace of things. Neither expect the body she finds in a motel room to lead them on a path of more victims and the sinister reason for the victims. I loved the balance of attraction between Vic & Bill while also getting to know them and trying to figure out the rhyme and reason of the killer and how close they are circling to them. You get laughs, loss, anger as well as hope and determination and more with this book and I guarantee you won't want to put it down until the end.
